My friends Claire and Sylvia both tagged me last week on Facebook to do a 5 day art challenge. 5 days! How perfect: I can pair it with my M-F blog postings.
Because I’m still busy with homework for Joy Chu’s Children’s Book Illustration class, I’ll be lame and start with an old painting I did back in 1991 (in pastel). For some reason, art director Giuseppe Castellano really loved this piece when he went over my online portfolio. Hope you like it, too.
Teresa, The painting is wonderful.

Gorgeous!!! Great colours – I love the slight differences in the reflection and non-reflection colours. The composition is so cool. Best lighthouse art ever! 🙂

I suffer from a lack of confidence and often don’t think my art is good enough to hang/sell/show. :}

Catherine, this isn’t *that* good. LOL! And there is an audience for every type of art. I don’t think I can do abstracts as nicely as you do. 🙂

Oh yeah, maybe slight. I haven’t seen all lighthouse art so I should have said “among the best lighthouse art pieces”. It does have stunning presence. And it kind of, sort of seems to be asking for a frame :-). Thanks for posting it.

Beautiful pastel work…love the texture and smoothness. It is an eye-catching piece, and the reflection is gorgeous. Should be framed and on the wall.

What a beautiful serenity coming through vividly in this piece. I could gaze contemplatively at that reflection all day, so it’d probably be best I didn’t hang it here as I’d get nothing else done… but other than that, I’d totally put this up!

What’s not to like about this painting? It invokes a sense of peacefulness, you show you have great talent and patience in doing such detailed work and leaves one wondering what sort of magical place that is.
